Abstract:
The national refuge system began in 1903, when President Theodore Roosevelt set aside a tiny Florida island as a sanctuary for nesting pelicans. Because North Carolina is an important waterfowl migration and wintering area, the state has seven national wildlife refuges. Findlay gives a summary of each of the following refuges: Mattamuskeet, Swan Quarter, Pea Island, MacKay Island, Pungo, Cedar Island, and Pee Dee.
